mrdropcloth
I saw one at pawn shop. Very hard beat . Must have rusted and someone put to wire wheel . Very pitted slide,etc.
If it shoots well , what would it be worth(Approx.??) ..Maybe 2-400.00?

    Interesting pistols but never all that popular. Most of the examples I see are in very good or better condition and sell in the $400-500 range so $400 for a beat to hell example seems way out of line. $200? Maybe, but I hate buying a really beat up example of any pistol that is not really pleasant to shoot (it is big, awkward and the trigger pull is super heavy) because you'll have a very hard time ever selling it. How many magazines come with the pistol because the magazines are not easy to find and pricey when you do.

    I have this pistol.

    The sights are unique, shadow technology or smoething like that.

    It's like shooting a 18 shot DAO revolver in a way.

    I got mine LNIB w/all, plus 3 extra mags & a holster at a great price.

    I'd sell it at the right price, but it's really more of a novelty piece IMHO.

    I'd pass unless you REALLY want the gun

    JMHO

    Mark,
    1 mag. comes w/ gun.
    It looks very pitted and really a wire wheel has it nice and shiney.
    I see what you mean about the DAO. Very long , slow and hard to squeese off rounds. Thanks much to and for both replys! Steve

    I had one years ago, I got it NIB in a trade. It was extremely accurate but the trigger was so bad you couldn't get through a mag without using two fingers on the trigger. For S & G i checked the trigger pull with a jury rigged trigger pull gauge, it was 17+ pounds. Like Mark said, I managed to get rid of it finally for $400 something?

    The Vollautomatische Pistole is still, 40 years later, pretty cool.

    The trigger issues can be mitigated with some polishing and the replacement striker spring from Wolff. It's a very easy fix too.

    Since the slides are parkerized, fixing the finish isn't too tough either.

    Heel catch magazine...sucks. Since the thing was meant to be a machine pistol the rifling is probably the deepest you'll ever see on any firearm. This results in some blowby as well. It's a straight blowback gun, no locked breech. But it is pretty accurate and well ahead of it's time.

    I installed the Wolff replacement spring on mine. It didn't make a whole heck of a lot of difference, IMHO. The trigger pull was still a b**ch.
